There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity. |
Fighting pseudoscience isn't free. We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with ! |

“” I know poised rationality is a fetish among academically/professionally/emotionally/sexually frustrated tweens on the internet suffering from an unfortunate lack of constant praise and reverence

“”You have your janky platform here riddled with the brainwashed, the immature, and operatives, and just like assholes, bellybuttons, and opinions... I guess you all ought to be proud for making anti-counter-propaganda since you clearly support the Big Brother "official" narrative.

@realDonaldTrump
My 1.16 run was just rejected after research due to it being "too unlikely to verify". A video was made by a head mod and Youtuber Geosquare, using my name and clickbaiting "Cheating Speedrunning" in order to get easy views. Definitely a response soon. Total BS!

Fascism?
Here are presented a classical example of fascism (Nazi Germany) and a modern example of which there is still some dispute (Trumpism[1]):

Humiliation | Treaty of Versailles | Lost Cause of the South | British India | |
Victimhood | Victim mentality | Stab-in-the-back legend | Trump's frequent claims of being treated unfairly despite living a life of privilege ("The Conservative Cult of Victimhood")[4] | Modi's paranoia about Muslims and his life being under threat |
Unity | Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, Axis powers | QAnon, Unite the Right, alt-right, Falun Gong via Epoch Times, Fundamentalist Christianity, Federalist Society | "Hindus are divided, Muslims are weak; RSS unites Hindus" | |
Energy | Nuremberg rallies | MAGA rallies | Rallies even during COVID | |

Pursues with redemptive violence without ethical or legal constraints goals of internal cleansing | coup d'état, genocide | Beer Hall Putsch, Night of the Long Knives, Kristallnacht, Holocaust | MAGA Bomber, 2021 U.S. Capitol riot | 2002 Gujrat riots, Delhi riots |
